Andrew Brischler: Goodbye to All That
“Goodbye to All That”
Discussion
· In 2013, he was awarded the prestigious Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Arts Grant. Brischler has been featured in numerous publications, including 100 Painters of Tomorrow
· Brischler put a lot of humor into his compositions, and titles his paintings after song lyrics, pop cultural events, and lines from movies.
· Brischler's work is inspired by contemporary art from Felix Gonzales-Torres to Robert Mapplethorpe, Keith Haring, and Andy Warhol.
· One critic commented upon viewing this particular painting, “the stripes had all been painted using a painstaking taping process over which Brischler applied strategic stains and doodles… The work is conceptually tight and well-thought out, but not in that annoying just-got-my-MFA way. Brischler makes really good paintings.”

Materials needed
Pencil (to write the child’s name on the back of the work)
8.5x11 or 9x12 white cardstock/precut poster board – something with a bit more stability to it than copy paper in order to withstand the amount of paint and glue your students will be using. You will need enough for each participant to use as the base for his/her artwork
Optional: Paintbrushes and water bowls
Acrylic or tempura Paint: white, red, yellow, blue and other colors if available
Black pens (optional)
Baby wipes
Rulers
Aprons
Length of Time/Duration of project:
20 minutes to gather supplies
Prep work:
None
Instructions
- Take your piece of white paper that you are using as the base for the project and write the child’s name on the back of the paper or let them write their names on their own.
2. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the page using a ruler. Draw a horizontal line about 1/3 of the way down the page.
3. 
Draw a diamond using your ruler; turning the paper might be helpful for the student to create this shape. Exact measurements are not necessary.
4. Create a second diamond.
5. Continue to build concentric diamonds.
Create the diamonds all the way to the edge of the page.
7. Paint the diamonds in a way that breaks up the diamond. In other words, do not paint ALL FOUR SIDES of the diamond in the same color tone.
8. Optional: Outline the lines in pen.
A peek at one of the works in progress.
